Verse 1
Thunder shakes the holy hall
Dripping on the stone
The window pane feels far too small
I walk home all alone
Thumb is hovering right above the glass
Pre-Chorus
Just one line to pull you in
One lie to hide the skin
Underneath the bitter water
Waiting for the prayer to start
Chorus
This is my altar of a broken mind
Calling your name
Watching the rain
This is a ritual of the purest kind
Feeling the burn
Losing the turn
Beautiful crime I carry
Beautiful crime I carry
Verse 2
Marble steps are slick and cold
I forgot the way you looked at me
Copper turns to green and old
Nothing stays the way it used to be
Breath is caught in the rafters
Pre-Chorus
Just one line to pull you in
One lie to hide the skin
Underneath the bitter water
Waiting for the prayer to start
Chorus
This is my altar of a broken mind
Calling your name
Watching the rain
This is a ritual of the purest kind
Feeling the burn
Losing the turn
Beautiful crime I carry
Beautiful crime I carry
Bridge
Maybe it's a hunger
Maybe it's a haunt
Maybe it's a holy ghost
I gave up on the safety
I gave up on the quiet
I gave up on the simple truth
Chorus
This is my altar of a broken mind
Calling your name
Watching the rain
This is a ritual of the purest kind
Feeling the burn
Losing the turn
Beautiful crime I carry
Beautiful crime I carry
